I'm sitting at my desk cry-laughing this morning thanks to, of all things, "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."

So everybody's talking about "Girls" and Lena Dunham's amazing Golden Globes' win and blah blah blah, voice of a generation. But we want to talk about something else: Lena Dunham's karaoke choices. Last week, New York magazine interviewed the cast of "Girls" about their favorite karaoke jams. (and karaoke played a major role…

When someone dares to karaoke a Whitney Houston song, the end result usually falls somewhere between "tragic" and "ear-splitting." So when this random girl stepped up to the karaoke microphone in the electronics department of a Singapore grocery store and cued up "I Will Always Love You," nobody paid much attention. But when she started…

According to some research done by the karaoke website Lucky Voice, Adele is 2011's karaoke queen. Her track "Someone Like You" accounted for 14 percent of all karaoke sung. And if people weren't belting that one, 25 percent of them were singing some other Adele ditty. And not as well as she does, I presume.

Two things we absolutely love: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and old-school Axl Rose. So imagine how much we loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" in the style of Axl Rose Tuesday night on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." "This guy does the best Axl Rose," Jimmy said before challenging…

Have you ever given into the urge to karaoke and then really regretted it afterward? Not Evan Rachel Wood. She was a karaoke superstar at a bar in Beijing recently and you'll never guess what song she picked. She sang—no, killed (in a good way)—Justin Bieber's "U Smile."…

I'm not so into the idea of bachelorette parties. But if I were ever to have one, I would want Jason Segel and John Krasinski to crash it, like they did for a random woman in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Here they are, sloppily karaoking "With a Little Help From My Friends" at…

I am mildly obsessed with karaoke. The fugs fake backgrounds, the bad backup vocals, the words with the bouncing balls—all of it makes me giddy. This dude is really embracing the true spirit of karaoke with his rendition of "This Is How We Do It." And I've decided I want to do it with him…

How we wish we could be Edward Pimentel. He's a lucky winner of the World Karaoke Championships, and the proud recipient of its one million dumpling prize. Yes, dumplings. It seems Pimentel wasn't the overall winner, but the audience fave -- and that entitles him to one million delicious steamed or fried dumplings. They aren't…

Yesterday, I posted the most lady empowering songs of all time, aka "The Top 10 Songs That Pump Us Ladies Up." But give it a day, girl, and there'll be a new contender.

Ladies, this karaoke king is looking for love, and he's not afraid to show it -- or his chest. Sam, 45, from Sacramento, Calif., is "always trying to break new ground in karaoke," and enjoys pop and rock -- but absolutely NO COUNTRY, OK? This karaoke addict has a penchant for lo-fi video…

Jude Law is so freaking hot I'd watch him do just about everything. Yes, even karaoke. Jude starts singing the Chuck Berry classic "Johnny B Goode" about 44 seconds in — a little tone deaf, but in a hot way. [YouTube]…

Bar owners often try to come up with inventive ideas to fill bar stools and sell bevs, but I think Sardo's Grill & Lounge, a dive karaoke bar in Los Angeles, should win an award for creativity. They've come up with “Porn Star Tuesdays," a night for the porn industry's best and brightest to get…

I have listened to some pretty bad karaoke performances in my lifetime. Some have left me feeling disappointed; others have inspired me to stuff a napkin in my ear to dull the sound, but never have I felt like inflicting bodily harm on the performer. Apparently, that isn't the case for everyone. A 25-year-old Connecticut…

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday.
